Example of Accounting of Interorganization Transfers Within the Same Business Unit

An interorganization transfer is a trade transaction involving the movement of goods or services between organizations in the supply chain. When the transfer occurs between organizations within the same profit center business unit, the transfer is always at cost and there is no intercompany invoicing.

Oracle Cost Accounting creates the trade events and they do not flow through Oracle Supply Chain Financial Orchestration.

The following is an example of accounting performed by Oracle Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting for an interorganization transfer of goods between inventory organizations within the same profit center business unit.

Scenario

Interorganization Transfer

The cost of goods transferred from M1 to M2 is USD 50 plus overhead of USD 10.
